Fantatsic Island!!!!!!!

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 2005)

THE ISLAND Dreamworks/Warner Bros. 2005 Color 127 minutes Action-Thriller Scarlett Johansen, Ewan Mcgregor, Steve Buschemi, Sean Bean and Dijimon Honsou star. Directed by Michael Bay Rated PG-13 for language, violence and sexuality. I just returned from a screening of the summers best film. Hopefully not hiring your expectations to much. I hope to expose the film a bit so that it can find more of an audience. I'm not sure there's much anticipation for it. Even though there should be. Flowing with creativity, intelligence, wondrous action sequences and a truly ground breaking storyline. Sexy Ewan Mcgregor and stunner Scarlett Johansen star as Lincoln and Jordan two supposed people living in a fake utopia. Genrated by a company they discover their clones and the purpose of their existence after winning the supposedly random lottery to go to the last remaining paradise the Island. But they soon discover there is no island and the reason for living is because they're being sponsored by rich people so that after their body parts have outlived their usefulness they can replace them with theirs. Slightly disturbing I know. They soon end up on the run and thats when the Michael Bay kicks in. With one exciting action set piece after another. Filling the film witch subtle and seemingly realistic special effects the film keeps you grounded in emotion and hanging on to the edge of your seat. Besides the films undeniable contents it sports memorable performances from its cast, Michael Bays best direction, a spectacular score and colorful cinematographic. This is the bets film I've seen all summer and possibly the year. I don't want to hype this film up for anyone but it's what I feel. I'm sure others will not agree but no one will walk out feeling dissatisfied. Cause it's a rare feat to balance intelligence with action and this film succeeds. So please give this film the business it deserves and check it out. A
